Katherine Gorge (2)

Katherine Gorge in the Northern Territory of Australia.  These photos are a continuation from those taken by me { here }

The first photo is aboriginal art on the cliff face. The other photos give you an idea what you see when in the boat going along the gorge, the different shapes of the rocks and wall of the gorge.  There have been several movies shot in and around the Katherine Gorge.

Katherine Gorge

I posted a post about the Katherine River in November 2024 here, this time I'm doing the Katherine Gorge and there will be a few posts on the Gorge over time.  The Gorge is a 13-gorge system that meanders around the Katherine River NT, Australia.   

The highlight of the Katherine Gorge are its towering sandstone walls carved by the Katherine River over thousands of years.  In recent years the town is known as Nitmiluk which is the Aboriginal name.  

We took a cruise up the river a few years back and these photos are from then.


A small crocodile on the tree limb, if you enlarge the photo you will see it easily.



 
We all had to get out of the boat walk a little way up and get into another boat.


You can see below that Katherine is a very long way from home.
